Man accused of trying to scare citizens disguised in ghillie suit

Hampton, Va. – This was certainly no laughing matter for residents in one Hampton neighborhood.

Police say an 18-year-old man, Collin Marcus Craig Ivy, was charged after he was seen hiding behind a tree wearing a ghillie suit.

Authorities say he was planning to scare other people who were using the Mattheson Trail in the 300 block of Butler Farm Road. In addition to the suit, he was also planning to use an air horn to startle people police say.

You know, I live very close to here and run on this trail quite frequently. I’ve always felt moderately safe and while I know he wasn’t trying to hurt anyone that makes me second guess running there alone.
